Packages in Java

Not encyclopedic, already in wikibooks. I recomend Delete. brenneman(t)(c) 06:25, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep How are people going to find it at wikibooks which is a much less used site? Isnt it better to keep things at wikipedia Astrokey44 12:56, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Useful information; might be extended in WikiBooks and shortened here, but getting rid of it doesn't seem to be the right course. - Andre Engels 13:26, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or merge. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of facts. Take out the unencyclopedic facts (the list of packages in the standard library - of interest to nobody but Java developers, who should be looking in the Java library reference manual, not on Wikipedia!), and you have a very short article describing Java's library management system. Now, Java's library management system may be interesting, but it is not so notable that it needs an article of its very own. It should be placed in context: either a brief description of it in Java programming language (which is overlong already, but there's a lot of cruft in it that could be edited down to make room), or in a more expansive article that describes its relation to other hierarchal library systems, like the one used in Haskell for example? — Haeleth Talk 18:37, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Though I think Haeleth makes some good points, it makes me wonder if we should also nominate C_Standard_Library for deletion as well, or keep both. They are parallel topics. Jasmol 23:02, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. WP:NOT a Java reference manual. --Carnildo 23:52, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Frankly, I don’t see much use for this in the Wikipedia. This reads like a programmer’s language manual and reference guide. It does not seem likely that anyone would refer to the Wikipedia to learn how to use and program in Java. There are plenty of excellent reference manuals and websites that provide detailed information and instructions on Java programming (and all other languages). ♠DanMS 01:24, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
